Google Slides...The Utility App

Google slides is my go to app. My Utility player. A Utility player is the jack of all trades player on a team...in the case the G Suite team. Many assignments that are straight forward text should stick with docs and those with numbers and charts, sheets, and images, drawings, but the moment that mixed media comes into play I go to slides.

Change page-setup to 800x200 and create a header for your google classroom (sample)

Download as a pdf and upload to wevideo to insert as images

Interactive Notes: Pass out a copy of presentation with various slides for interactive note taking, slides where students create their own meaning with words and images and drawings

Unit Organizer: Hyperlink to outside resources or back to an assignment on classroom to organize

Hyperslides: Slides published as a view only but with links to learning content (videos/articles) and to classroom learning activities (classroom assignments/padlets/creation tools/digital experiments, etc)
